Make sure the print head nozzles are not clogged. Make sure the Media Type setting matches the paper you loaded. See "Choosing the Right Settings for EPSON Papers" on page 52 of your user's manual for guidelines. Make sure the printable side of the paper is face up. It's usually whiter or shinier. Enable Microweave and slide the Quality/Speed button to the Quality setting in printer setup. Check the LCD status display panel for a message that you're low on ink; see "Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges" on page 126. If your ink cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it; see "Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge" on page 128 of your user's manual. If you see banding when you print, but not when you copy, try using Automatic mode. Make sure you're not using the Maximum Printable Area setting. Banding may occur in the expanded area: Set the paper thickness switch to the 0 position. Place the EPSON Stylus Scan on a stable, level surface. Make sure none of the five rubber feet is missing from the bottom of the EPSON Stylus Scan. Note: For other image quality problems when you're copying, see "Solving Image Quality Problems" beginning on page 151 of your user's manual.
